What makes a Glashütte special?

Like its town neighbor A. Lange & Söhne, Glashütte Original is one of those German companies who really give high-end Swiss brands a run for their money. Excquisite design with in-house movements at fairly competitive pricing spells success, but there's more to Glashütte than just that. The core philosophy of the company are the German values of reliability, precision and quality. Without naming any names, certain Swiss brands have a tendency to overhype both their origin as well as history. Glashütte, while having a rich watchmaking tradition, are fully aware that simply being German is not going to cut it in the luxury watch business, instead relying on their excellent reputation as one of the premier companies around.
